If you're interested in textile art, please understand it will not end at one of the arts. Interested in weaving? There are many different types, so now you're learning about the culture these styles come from, and with that comes learning about their clothing. Now you're interested in learning how to sew clothing, and much of it has some kind of embroidery. So you do research and see how beautiful it is, and different types of embroidery exist. You decide to learn embroidery and get curious about lace because often they're seen together.

Prepare for a journey and get real good at organizing. You'll soon lose space because of supplies and tools.

#words from the artist #textile artist #textiles #i made macrame jewelry for over 20 years and burned out but i'm also in a family of quilters and found something new. now i make quilts #and have a huge interest in learning thread painting and embroidery. most importantly i want to learn how to make and repair my #own clothing. do you know how difficult it is to find clothing thag fits a curvy woman barely over five feet tall? apparently being short #means being skinny. i'm not nor are most short folks i know. plus i can never find anything with big bold bright prints or shorts not made #of denim and at knee-length but also baggy. the “shorts” i have are shorts on people over 5'6“. they're capris on me. the only way i will #ever have clothes i love is to make them myself. i also intend to decorate current and future clothing with embroidery.#and also learn sashiko and apply it to mending and handquilting. my right hand and wrist are what's stopping me from learning #knit or crochet and several other things. yup physical disabilities are why i haven't taken those on.
